Hastings compiles multiple 579th Strategic Missile Squadron accounts of unusual lights or silent objects near Atlas missile sites, especially Sites 8 and 9. A December 1964 letter from Airman Barry Krause to NICAP reports frequent sightings, a KC-135 being directed toward one event, frightened guards, and alleged classification of incident reports.
